How to Use This Resource



Thanks so much for purchasing this resource. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the TpT best seller, Interactive Reading Literature Notebooks, Vol. 2. I created this resource in order to solve many common problems that interactive notebooks in the classroom present.Quick LessonsSometimes, you might find it necessary to get information into the interactive notebook without a full-blown interactive notebook lesson. These Quick Notes offer the perfect solution for an interactive notebook lesson that won’t break the clock. Since the templates are all 2D, the student has only to simply fill in the missing information for each page. You can have them copy the information right off of the pre-filled template, or provide the information yourself. And for the ultimate quick lesson, simply provide students with copies of the pre-filled templates.

Absent Students Accommodating for absent students can be one of the biggest pains with interactive notebooks. Well, pain no more! These templates are designed so that they can be used in conjunction with the Interactive Reading Literature Notebook, Vol. 2 lessons. The notes are the same and the graphics are similar. So if most of your students have the real lessons in their notebooks, it’s perfectly fine if a few absent students have the Quick Notes templates. They will all have the same exact information. Hand those absent students a blank template that they can fill in, or provide them with the pre-filled template to cut, glue, and go!

ModificationsWe’ve all had students with dysgraphia or other fine motor skills who specifically struggle with interactive notebooks. Now, you’ve got two new options! While the rest of the class does the regular interactive notebook page, these students can use the 2D template where all they have to do is fill in the notes. This takes the pressure off of them to keep up with the entire cut, color, and glue procedures. Have a student with a more severe need? Simply give him the pre-filled template and allow him to color. He’ll still have the same information in his notebook and be able to participate in the lesson.

Teaching the Same Students Multiple YearsI first taught using interactive notebooks while teaching the same exact students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. It’s definitely a challenge to keep those notebooks fresh year after year! With Quick Notes, it’s now easy to pick and choose which full interactive notebook lessons you’ll complete with each grade – ideally, as you introduce those topics in depth for the first time –and then fill in using Quick Notes for the rest. They make a super-easy review for students who learned the information with the original template but need to have the information in their notebooks to review and look back on.
